Every once in a great while, I get hit with some reminder of what was - how much potential I had then and squandered....that cannot come from God. First of all - I was not a believer then, so whatever good was there was of the earth, not heaven. God promises to give beauty for ashes - not remind us of our ashes so that we feel hopeless and condemned.<br /><br />Hugs hugs hugs - thank you SO much for putting this whole episode in the right perspective.Susan Humestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374042568634619411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-21188707685540230442010-04-10T06:15:51.713-04:002010-04-10T06:15:51.713-04:00I reaad your peom too, sister mine and I had to st...I reaad your peom too, sister mine and I had to stew on it awhile. One thought was absolutely clear though, and that is that when God shows us things about ourselves, it is in a loving way - when we have these encounters, if they are from God and not satan, we will have two immediate responses - one, a feeling of sorrow immediately followed by a feeling of love received and forgiveness and a sense of hope because of what we now have AND finally a sense of joy that we are in a different place because we are known and loved by HIM. . . . . So, your poem was very well done, but rather look at that young girl and know how far you have come and no regrets! Yesterday is what it was, but today is what you make it with God beside you, and tomorrow is your future - rejoice in it!Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-49320968433483410342010-04-05T22:34:19.478-04:002010-04-05T22:34:19.478-04:00Thanks, Brenda - I have to remember that it is ind...Thanks, Brenda - I have to remember that it is indeed the past and let it go.

Almost as if the old me was haunting the today me.<br /><br />As I prayed about it, I knew God was showing me two things. Once, I am who I am today not in spite of past mistakes but because I learned from them. <br /><br />Also, He reminded me I have asked forgiveness for the past bad decisions and motives so everything is "under the blood of Jesus" and already forgotten in the books of Heaven. <br /><br />So bit it for all of us. :)Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-47446478671795272982010-04-05T14:54:03.834-04:002010-04-05T14:54:03.834-04:00Nice Poem.
